💿 [SONG INFO]
"Play with Fire" is a song by English rock and roll band The Rolling Stones, originally released as B-side to the song "The Last Time".
It was later included on the American release of their 1965 album Out of Our Heads.
"Play with Fire" is credited to Nanker Phelge, a pseudonym used when tracks were composed by the entire band, even though lead singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards are the only Rolling Stones to appear on the track.
The song was recorded late one night in January 1965 while the Stones were in Los Angeles recording with Phil Spector at the RCA Studios.
Richards performed the song's acoustic guitar opening while Jagger handled vocals and tambourine (enhanced using an echo chamber).
Spector played bass (actually a tuned-down electric guitar), and Jack Nitzsche provided the song's distinctive harpsichord arrangement and tamtams. The Stones left for a tour of Australia the following day.
The song's lyrics talk of the singer's relationship with a high society girl, disparaging the lifestyle much in the same way that "19th Nervous Breakdown" would in a more up-tempo feel.
In a 1995 interview with Jann Wenner for Rolling Stone entitled "Jagger Remembers", Jagger said, ""Play with Fire" sounds amazing—when I heard it last.
I mean, it's a very in-your-face kind of sound and very clearly done.
You can hear all the vocal stuff on it.
And I'm playing the tambourines, the vocal line. You know, it's very pretty."
An unreleased version of the song, entitled "Mess with Fire", was also recorded.
It featured a much more upbeat, soul-oriented feel.
"Play with Fire" was the b-side to "The Last Time" and went to no.96 on the US chart.
It was also featured on the US version of Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass) (1966), Hot Rocks (1971) and Singles Collection: The London Years.
The song was performed in concert during the Rolling Stones' tours of 1965 and 1966, and was revived on their 1989-1990 Steel Wheels/Urban Jungle Tour.
An extended live version can be found on the 1974 release Live 'n' Kickin' by West, Bruce and Laing.
"Play with Fire" was featured in the 2007 film The Darjeeling Limited, directed by Wes Anderson; it also appears on the soundtrack album.
In July 2008, "Play with Fire" became the subject of a lawsuit when ABKCO Music Inc., which owns the rights to the Rolling Stones' early catalogue, filed a suit against Lil Wayne, asserting that the rapper's song "Playing With Fire" is based on the Rolling Stones' song.
In May 2011, "Play with Fire" was featured prominently in the season 6 finale of the show Supernatural.
Legacy
Dick Taylor, an early bass guitarist for the Stones, covered "Play with Fire" as a member of The Pretty Things on their 1999 album, Rage...Before Beauty.
Gov't Mule covered "Play with Fire" in a reggae style on their 2007 album Mighty High and directly reference the Rolling Stones 1965 version in the intro.
"Play with Fire" was covered by Dum Dum Girls in 2009 as a B-Side to the Jail La La single and as a Japanese bonus track for their debut album I Will Be.
Jonee Earthquake Band have made this a regular part of their act, usually closing with it. They play it in a much faster punk rock style.
Tír na nÓg conceived an acoustic folk version of the song with a guitar/violin arrangement that they played live on their 2010 album Live at Sirius.

🎵 [SONG INFO]
(Im Not Your) Steppin Stone is a rock song written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart.
It was first recorded by the English band the Liverpool Five in early 1966 but remained unreleased before summer of that same year.
In the meantime, the American band Paul Revere & the Raiders recorded the song which appeared on their album Midnight Ride, released in May 1966.
The song is simple musically, with a repeating verse chord progression of E major, G major, A major, and C major, and a repeating bridge in cut time of E major, G major, A major, and G major.
Monkees version
(Im Not Your) Steppin Stone is best known as a hit for the Monkees. Released in November 1966, the song became the first Monkees B-side to chart, reaching no.20 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Musicians featured on the recording are Micky Dolenz (lead vocal), Tommy Boyce (backing vocal), Wayne Erwin and Gerry McGee (rhythm guitar), Louis Shelton (lead guitar), Bobby Hart (Vox Continental organ), Larry Taylor (bass), Billy Lewis (drums) and Henry Lewy (percussion).
The single, stereo album, and mono album versions contain several differences.
In the stereo version, the tracks title is sung just before the second verse, whereas on the single and mono album versions, this segment is left instrumental.
The stereo version has an edit in the fadeout , but the mono album version does not have this edit and therefore has a longer coda.
The single also does not have the edit, but it fades out earlier than does the mono album.
All Monkees hits compilations through the mid-1980s used the stereo version, and afterward typically used the single version.
The Monkees version is featured in the romp segments of several episodes of the groups television series.

🎵 [SONG INFO]
Just a Little Bit is an R&B-style blues song recorded by Rosco Gordon in 1959.
It was a hit in both the R&B and pop charts.
Called one of the standards of contemporary blues, Just a Little Bit has been recorded by various other artists, including Little Milton and Roy Head, who also had record chart successes with the song.
Background
Just a Little Bit was developed when Rosco Gordon was touring with West Coast blues artist Jimmy McCracklin.
According to Gordon, McCracklin started to write the song and agreed that Gordon could finish it, with both of them sharing the credit.
Gordon later presented a demo version to Ralph Bass at King Records, who was reportedly uninterested in the song.
Gordon then approached Calvin Carter at Vee-Jay Records, who agreed to record it.
Meanwhile, Federal Records, a King Records subsidiary, released a version of Just a Little Bit by R&B singer Tiny Topsy, with songwriting credit given to Ralph Bass and several others unknown to Gordon.
The Tiny Topsy song, featuring a pop-style arrangement with background singers and flute, did not reach the record charts.
Rosco Gordon song
Rosco Gordons Just a Little Bit was released in late 1959 and entered the Billboard R&B chart in February 1960.
An early review described the song as a rhymba [rhumba] blues, a reference to Gordons slightly shambolic, loping style of piano shuffle called Roscos Rhythm.
The original Vee-Jay single lists Gordon as the songwriter, although some later issues (and versions by other artists) list Bass and others as the writers.
Just a Little Bit was Rosco Gordons fourth (and last) single to enter the R&B chart, where it reached number two during a stay of seventeen weeks in 1960.
Just a Little Bit also appeared on Billboards Hot 100 at number 64, making it Gordons only song to enter the broader chart.
Renditions and influence
Several musicians have recorded Just a Little Bit.
In 1965, a version by American singer Roy Head reached numbers 39 on the Hot 100 and 18 on the Canadian singles chart.
When soul blues artist Little Milton recorded it in 1969, it peaked at number 13 on Billboards Hot R&B Sides chart and number 97 on the Hot 100.
According to music writer Steve Turner, the opening horn line of the original Roscoe Gordon version influenced Paul McCartney during the writing of the 1968 Beatles song Birthday.

💿 [SONG INFO]
Joy Divisions No Love Lost is an early and significant track in their discography, showcasing their raw, developing sound.
Release History
First Official Release
No Love Lost was initially released on Joy Divisions debut EP, An Ideal for Living, which came out on June 3, 1978.
This EP was self-released by the band on their own Enigma Records label (7 version) and later on Anonymous Records (12 version).
It featured four songs: Warsaw, No Love Lost, Leaders of Men, and Failures.
Other Appearances
It has since been featured on various Joy Division compilation albums, most notably Substance (1988), which collects the bands non-album singles and EP tracks. This is often how new listeners discover the song.
Earlier Recording (Warsaw)
The song actually predates the official Joy Division releases. It was recorded when the band was still called Warsaw, in their 1977 demos.
Musical Style and Significance
Early Joy Division Sound
No Love Lost is a great example of Joy Divisions sound in their nascent stages, before the more refined production of Unknown Pleasures and Closer. It has a raw, energetic, and slightly punkier feel. Peter Hook, the bassist, even admitted that his guitar was out of tune on the initial recording, giving it a particular edge.
Post-Punk Blueprint
Despite its early nature, some argue it acts as an original schematic for Joy Divisions sound, showcasing the emerging post-punk elements that would define their later work.
Lyrical Content
While Joy Divisions lyrics are often open to interpretation, Ian Curtiss words in No Love Lost contribute to the bands characteristic themes of despair, inner turmoil, and alienation. Its less explicitly tied to his personal life than some of their later songs (like Love Will Tear Us Apart), but it certainly fits within the overall dark and introspective lyrical landscape of Joy Division.
In popular culture
The song was used in Anton Corbijns 2007 biopic Control, which depicted the life of Ian Curtis.
No Love Lost is a compelling track that offers a glimpse into the formative years of one of the most influential bands of the late 1970s.

🎵 [SONG INFO]
Jealous Guy is a song written and originally recorded by the English rock musician John Lennon from his second studio album Imagine (1971).
Not released as a single during Lennons lifetime, it became an international hit in a version by Roxy Music issued in early 1981; this version reached number one in the United Kingdom and Australia and was a top-10 hit in several European countries.
Lennons own version was subsequently issued as a single and charted in the United States and UK.
Lennon began writing the song in 1968, when, as Child of Nature, it was among the many songs demoed by the Beatles before they recorded their self-titled double album (also known as the White Album).
The lyrics were originally inspired by a lecture given by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in early 1968, when the Beatles attended his spiritual retreat in Rishikesh, India.
In January 1969, the Beatles (primarily Lennon) jammed the song during their Get Back / Let It Be recording sessions, where it was referred to as On the Road to Marrakesh.
Origins
The songs inspiration came in India, after the Beatles attended a lecture by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi about a son of the mother nature. This inspired both Paul McCartney and John Lennon to write songs about the same subject. McCartneys composition, Mother Natures Son, was selected for The Beatles, but Lennon did not attempt to record Child of Nature during the sessions for the album. Both were demoed at George Harrisons Esher home in May 1968. The demo of Child of Nature featured Lennons double-tracked vocal and playing an acoustic guitar. Early the following year, Lennon revisited the song as On the Road to Marrakesh during the Get Back sessions. Eventually, the lyrics were scrapped and replaced by the now well-known Jealous Guy lyrics for Imagine.
Listening to the original Esher Demo, the song begins On the road to Rishikesh and mentions mountains. It is not referring to Marrakesh in Morocco, and there is no evidence Lennon ever visited there. In its rewritten form, the song serves as a confessional in which Lennon addresses the feelings of inadequacy that resulted in pain for those he loved.
Three recordings of Child of Nature are currently known. The first is a demo of the song recorded at the home of George Harrison in May 1968. The second, on which Harrison sings backing vocals, was recorded at Twickenham Film Studios on 2 January 1969. A third recording was made at the Beatles Apple Studio on 24 January. A snatch of the chorus from the second recording appears on the Fly on the Wall bonus disc packaged with Let It Be... Naked (2003). The first recording appears on the fiftieth anniversary release of The Beatles, which contains all of the demos recorded at Esher.
Recording
Lennon recorded Jealous Guy on 24 May 1971 at Ascot Sound Studios, where his vocals were overdubbed on 29 May 1971.
String overdubs took place on 4 July 1971 at the Record Plant, in New York City.
Musicians included Mike Pinder of the Moody Blues and Joey Molland and Tom Evans of Badfinger.
Nicky Hopkins plays the distinctive piano part that runs through the song. His performance drew praise from those attending the sessions, including Yoko Ono.
Release
Lennons recording of Jealous Guy was released on the Imagine album in 1971. It was not released as a single until November 1985, five years after Lennons murder and four-and-a-half years after Roxy Musics version was released. Accompanied on the B-side by Going Down on Love, a track from Walls and Bridges (1974), the single reached number 65 on the UK charts.
In the United States, the single reached number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1988 in conjunction with the release of the documentary film Imagine: John Lennon.
Jealous Guy also peaked at number 22 on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart.

Eleanor Rigby is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1966 album Revolver.
It was also issued on a double A-side single, paired with Yellow Submarine.
Credited to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership, the song is one of only a few in which John Lennon and Paul McCartney later disputed primary authorship.
Eyewitness testimony from several independent sources, including George Martin and Pete Shotton, supports McCartneys claim to authorship.
Eleanor Rigby continued the transformation of the Beatles from a mainly rock and roll- and pop-oriented act to a more experimental, studio-based band, with a double string quartet arrangement by George Martin and lyrics providing a narrative on loneliness.
It broke sharply with popular music conventions, both musically and lyrically.
The song topped singles charts in Australia, Belgium, Canada, and New Zealand.
Background and inspiration
Paul McCartney came up with the melody for Eleanor Rigby as he experimented on his piano.
Donovan recalled hearing McCartney play an early version of the song on guitar, where the character was named Ola Na Tungee. At this point, the song reflected an Indian musical influence and its lyrics alluded to drug use, with references to blowing his mind in the dark and a pipe full of clay.
The name of the protagonist that McCartney initially chose was not Eleanor Rigby, but Miss Daisy Hawkins.
In 1966, McCartney told Sunday Times journalist Hunter Davies how he got the idea for his song:
The first few bars just came to me. And I got this name in my head – Daisy Hawkins picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been. I dont know why ... I couldnt think of much more so I put it away for a day. Then the name Father McCartney came to me – and all the lonely people. But I thought people would think it was supposed to be my dad, sitting knitting his socks. Dads a happy lad. So I went through the telephone book and I got the name McKenzie.
McCartney said that the idea to call his character Eleanor was possibly because of Eleanor Bron, the actress who starred with the Beatles in their 1965 film Help! Rigby came from the name of a store in Bristol, Rigby & Evens Ltd. McCartney noticed the store while visiting his girlfriend of the time, actress Jane Asher, during her run in the Bristol Old Vics production of The Happiest Days of Your Life in January 1966.
He recalled in 1984: I just liked the name. I was looking for a name that sounded natural. Eleanor Rigby sounded natural.
In an October 2021 article in The New Yorker, McCartney wrote that his inspiration for Eleanor Rigby was an old lady who lived alone and whom he got to know very well. He would go shopping for her and sit in her kitchen listening to stories and her crystal radio set. McCartney said, just hearing her stories enriched my soul and influenced the songs I would later write.
